Predictions for Rangers series?

 

Calling 2-1 or 1-2. I don't think either team will sweep.

Mark Buehrle, LHP vs Derek Holland, LHP - 50/50

David Price, LHP vs Colby Lewis, RHP - Win

Marco Estrada, RHP vs Yovani Gallardo, RHP - 50/50

[HERPDERP]

I haven't kept track of the Rangers, what makes them good?

 

The only offensive players I can think of off the top of my head are Beltre and Fielder, and the former is having a down year. And what about their BP?

 

I guess their pitching is their best asset

2 out of 3 is perfectly FAP worth.

[Governator]

Rangers are just excited not to see Adam Lind in our line up.

They're not good, that's the thing.

Need to secure the first two if we want a series win. Maybe I'm wrong. Gallardo might be tough. We'll see.

[BigCecil]

You worry too much man. Its a crazy game. Lots can happen. Injuries. Edwin goes on monumental tear....so many things.

 

If we stay reasonably healthy and execute and get a bit of luck we will win the division...the math will take care of itself.

 

I want this

 

I think THIS is happening G-snarls. Great timing! He looks like the ol' E-Rex.

[Trouba95]

Damn Rangers had to scratch Perez in favour of Gallardo.

Yeah...darn.

Might be able to get to Holland.

232 wRC+ in Aug

[Mikeleelop]

today's off day could hurt the team that was clicking on almost all positions. The off day often cools a team down

 

I hope the bat can stay hot but its going to be a tough series

[G-Snarls]

Edwin still has it

 

And the team can survive better through his slumps now than they used to obviously

They had an off day before the Angels series, I'd say that worked well and when you're traveling between timezones it's a good thing.

So the Dodgers had the best odds at winning the World Series for the entire season, until last night:

http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/index.php?dispgroup=all&standings_sort=wspct

 

FanGraphs projections have them second (11.3%) to the Dodgers (18.6%) but season-to-date stats have them as the #1 by a mile (Cardinals come in at 14.4%, behind the Jays at 20.5%).

[Ambassador Ch0n]

2 out of 3 is perfectly FAP worth.

 

Oh please, all us cool kids are using xFAP now.

So if stroman makes it all the way back as a Starter, please yes! who gets bumped from the rotation ?

 

Hutch to the Pen? Playoffs Estrada also, if it's a four man Rotation or Dickey?

 

Price, Stroman, buehrle and .... How would the rotation be set up?

Goins up to 0.7 WAR in 92 games. Article isn't very good though. P/PA isn't useful. He's walking at a 9% rate this year which is a massive improvement for him. If he can keep that up there's definitely some hope for an 80-85 wRC+ bat which is enough with his glove to be a decentish regular. Projections still aren't favorable though.

 

He has 4 games to get to 1.5 WAR...
